Keith K: It's Cirith Gorgor, isn't it?

Mirahzi · 12-16-2002, 11:36 PM

Agh... I think you're right, Cass.

Cirith Gorgor it is!

From his home in an ancient casket
the all-white sea-bird rose.
His wings were as pearl and silver,
and seven gems adorned his breast.
From his head there sprang a light
which went up like flame,
and his glory was spread over the earth.

No, it is not a person. Out of animal, vegetable, or mineral, the clue is mineral. Out of person, place, or thing, the clue is thing. It is spoken of in ROTK.

Isildor?

no, not Isildur. or any other person. it is a thing. the seabird stuff is a metaphor. This riddle is using imagery. There is a connection of sorts to Isildur however, as Radagast has figured out from the seven gems.

The White Tree?

the banner Arwen made for Aragorn?

The nine ships of the Faithful?

Good guesses, but incorrect. The answer to the riddle can be found in the chapter The Steward and the King.

The Crown of Gondor !

DraZ has found the correct answer! Congratulations!
I will try to come up with another riddle today for y'all to guess. I'm not sure how much longer Sister Golden Hair will let this thread run, but I'm pretty sure this is pretty much the last page (or at least the next to last). In any event we can simply begin a new thread for our riddling.

My purpose within moon-runes lies.
(a setting sun is in the sky)
The moon as well has come to play,
(I only work on Durins' Day).
Use me quickly, you must rush.
(when you hear the knocking thrush).

Mirahzi · 12-21-2002, 12:06 AM

Is it the moon script written on Thorin's map?

Ms. Undomial · 12-21-2002, 12:14 AM

Is it Thorin's key?

Yes! Thorin's key is correct. Mirahzi was on the right track, but the key is the answer I was looking for.

Duddun · 12-21-2002, 08:25 PM

Someone please start another riddle! I can't ever think of one or find one. Is there a riddle book you have of LotR?

TinuvielChild · 12-21-2002, 09:21 PM

Hidden strength
Beauty concealed.
Warrior blood
A caged bird
Ready to fly away.

My riddles tend to be either way too ambiguous or obvious. This follows that pattern; oh well.

Mirahzi · 12-21-2002, 09:31 PM

Is it Eowyn?
